An enormous amount of waste materials (tailings, fly ash and slag) are generated during
mineral processing, power generation and metallurgical processes. A vast literature on …

Environmental issues associated with tailings management have made it the most daunting
challenge faced by the mining industry. To dispose mineral tailings in a technical …

Cleaner production is an integrated preventive environmental strategy intended to minimize
waste and emissions and maximize product output. The mining industry continually supplies …

The shear behavior of backfill-rock composites is crucial for mine safety and the
management of surface subsidence. For exposing the shear failure mechanism of backfill …

The increasing popularity of paste backfilling demands alternative binder optimisation and
bulk waste disposal. This study investigates the efficacy of fly ash (FA) as partial …

Computer aided optimization of cement-based materials proportion can accurately quantify
the accompanying microstructure evolution, material composition, and the mechanical …

Understanding the porosity/pore linkage and strength properties of cementitious mine
backfill (CMB) is essential for the design of underground mining filling. Adoption of new …

As a widespread application in underground metal mines, cementitious tailings backfill
(CTB) has a significant implication for recycling dangerous process tailings and enhancing …

The backfill does not exist independently in the stope, but is in contact with the surrounding
rocks to form a combination body to jointly bear pressure. In order to study the joint pressure …

Cemented backfilling has been widely used in underground mines worldwide. The stability
of cemented backfill must be sufficient to maintain the subsequent stope. Investigation into …
